Understanding Average Order Value and Its Role in Ad Bidding
· 3d ago · Originally reported by PPC Land
Average order value (AOV) is calculated by dividing total revenue by the number of orders in a given period. This metric is used by advertising platforms to inform bidding strategies, but its interpretation can sometimes be misleading depending on context and calculation methods.
